Poker Bankroll Guidelines
The biggest issue that I hear about from everyone on this site is bankroll management or holding onto a bankroll. So I wanted to write up some of my thoughts in that regard and tie it into some various strategies that I propose to people. Starting off with Short Stack

UltimateBet and Absolute Poker Casino set to open this week
Sometime this week UltimateBet and Absolute Poker are supposed to open up their casino (I am hearing Tuesday but these types of things are subject to many delays). When I mentioned it to a friend of mine he said "who in their right mind would play at a UB casino", I do not

WSOP needs Big Changes
Every year they play the final table and every year people light up the online message boards with complaints. Normally I am able to make some type of argument related to game play and situational thinking. Not this year though, this year was a debacle. These were not just

Cash games with Antes - How to adjust
Within the last couple of weeks both Full Tilt and UltimateBet have introduced antes into their cash game offerings. This is something I have been pushing for literally for years. With the advent of poker software players are savvier and frankly the games can be tight at times. The
